The Philadelphia Flyers will still need to send goaltender Carter Hart a qualifying offer to keep his NHL rights, according to a report late Saturday night.
According to The Athletic’s Chris Johnston, the NHL and NHLPA are not making any rule changes for the teams that currently hold the NHL rights of the group of players that were charged for sexual assault for the incident that allegedly occurred during a Hockey Canada event for the World Juniors team in 2018.
There were discussions between the NHL and NHLPA about potentially changing how the status of those players was treated while the legal process played out, but they ultimately decided against taking that action.
